Default Tomahawk/ Skipper

depends on how you did the rebuild, the size of the wing and
how much crap was removed from the rest of the structure.

1320 .

full

dreaming

| | Of course you could remanufacture a wing. However,
IIRC

| | well over 10k hours, and there are plenty of 3,000
to
| 4,000 hour Tomahawks

expense
